The Adrian Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday to approve a $609,146 general fund budget for 2013.

The budget is $25,168 less than the general fund budget approved for 2012.

The budget includes a $3,000 per year raise for part-time fire chief Tim Bartenslager, who currently makes $18,500 a year; a $2 per hour pay increase for police officer Brett Gilbert, who now makes $18.15 an hour; and a 3 percent raise for office manager Marie Nelson, who currently makes $16.65 an hour.

The total appropriation for fire and ambulance service will increase $62,250, from $264,020 in 2012 to $326,270 for 2013.

The township raised its appropriation to pay Madison Township for advanced life support ambulance service by $25,000, from $50,000 in 2012 to $75,000 for 2013. The increased appropriation reflects an increased number of calls for the service, township supervisor Jim Koehn said.

The total appropriation for fire and ambulance salaries and wages went up $8,500, from $110,000 in 2012 to $118,500 for 2013. That also reflects an increased number of calls as well as his salary increase, Bartenslager said.

The township’s firefighters work on an on-call basis.

The appropriation for police rose $3,984, to $177,802 for 2013 from $173,818 for 2012.

The board voted unanimously to set the salaries for the supervisor, clerk and treasurer at $17,828, the same as they have been for five years, Koehn said.

The board also voted unanimously to set the salaries for the township trustees at $3,575. That is the same as those salaries have been since 2008, Koehn said.

The board voted unanimously to set the township’s 2013 general fund millage at 0.8082, and the public safety millage at 0.9444, the same levels as this year.

That means the owner of a home with a taxable value of $100,000 would pay $80.82 in township general fund taxes and $94.44 in public safety taxes.
